Glamping: An Odyssey

Glamping: An Odyssey

ELLE editors are fashion lovers by birth and reporters by trade, so when staff got wind of the word "glamping" (noun: glamorous camping; etymology: nonsense), a team was assembled to find out what it was all about. You could call it reportage. (You wouldn't.) But they called it an opportunity to pack roughly $30,000 worth of capital-F fashion and fine home goods into a luxury RV and drive it up to Lake Placid. Dreams of absconding to Canada and general chaos ensued.
